Saturday Headlines

The Obama administration, as former UN ambassador John Bolton observed yesterday, is taking extreme measures to forestall a prospective Israeli strike on Iran. Since when does one ally tip off an enemy about another ally’s possible route of attack, in this case, via Azerbaijan? The utter fecklessness of the administration’s foreign policy, though, is forcing the Israelis to act, whatever the administration’s concerns about the price of gas.

Insufficient attention has been given to the prospective collapse of Syria as a motivation for an Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear program.

In the past several days, Israel has sounded public warnings regarding Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile, estimated to be the world’s largest.

Ehud Barak, the defense minister, emphasized the short-term dangers posed by turmoil in Syria. ‘We are monitoring events in Syria, with an eye on any efforts to transfer weapons that would alter the balance . . . Events in Syria increase the uncertainty and the need to prepare for any scenario,’ he warned.”

Israeli officials warn that an even graver risk would emerge if Iran were to intervene in Syria with regular forces to support the Assad regime, perhaps in response to actual or perceived Western backing for the Syrian opposition. In that case Iranian regular forces might have control over Syria’s chemical weapons, and with it the capacity to retaliate against any Israeli strike against Iran’s nuclear capacity.

Now - take a look at these highly prophetic statements:

Deterrence has always worked with the Assad regime: if Syria were to use chemical weapons against Israel, Damascus would be turned to glass.

The Assad family does not want that to happen, but the mullahs in Tehran do not care much one way or the other; they have never liked Arabs to begin with. If Iran gains control of some part of the chemical stockpile, it gains a retaliatory capability against Israel outside its own borders, and that is something Israel cannot tolerate.

For both Iran and Israel, the window of opportunity is closing. Iran cannot sustain the sanctions regime indefinitely, and its probable response is to accelerate its nuclear program. Israel faces the risk that Syria may become a platform for non-nuclear WMD attacks by Iran.

Fresh clashes erupted between Syrian soldiers and rebels across many parts of Syria on Friday, despite President Bashar Assad having accepted a peace plan brokered by UN envoy Kofi Annan earlier this week.

According to The Associated Press, there were clashes in the suburbs of Damascus, in the northern Idlib province, the restive central province of Homs and in eastern Syria.

The Local Coordination Committees said 15 people were killed across the country, including eight who died in the town of Quriya in the eastern Deir el-Zour province. There, according to the organization, security forces opened fire to disperse anti-government protesters, triggering a shootout and fierce clashes with local rebels in the area.

The LCC and the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also reported intense clashes between government forces and defectors in the suburbs of Damascus, between the towns of Zamalka and Arbeen.

On Thursday, the UN’s human rights chief Navi Pillay said there is enough evidenceto bring human rights charges against Assad over his year-long crackdown on protesters.

Waleed al-Bunni, a member of the Syrian National Council, told the London-basedAsharq Al-Awsatnewspaper that the opposition would accept the plan only if Assad's regime complies with its points within two days, even though it does not include the opposition's main demand that Assad should step down.

Back to the U.S. and it's pending collapse which will help pave the way for a new world order:

Is the U.S. economy going to be okay? Well, if the only source you listened to was the mainstream media, you would be left with the distinct impression that the U.S. economy is heading toward a full recovery and that everything is going to be alright. Unfortunately, that is not the case at all.

The United States is rapidly becoming poorer as a nation and less competitive in the global marketplace. At the same time, consumer debt levels are rising, corporate debt levels are rising, state and local government debt levels are rising and the U.S. government is indulging in a debt binge unlike anything the world has ever seen.

Instead, the employment statistics have barely moved and government dependence is at an all-time high. That is really sad, because this is as good as "the recovery" is going to get. The next major economic downturn is just around the bend, and in future years millions of us will desperately yearn for the "good old days" of 2012.

So North Carolina wants to bar citizens from carrying guns in times of crises. This would be the same North Carolina whose governor, Perdue, suggested the 2012 election be suspended so Congress can focus on the economy.

Not surprisingly, Gov. Perdue is also one of ten Obama "Council of Governors" who'll be placed in charge when there's a national emergency.

As for the betrayal of Israel, according to the Russian media, who ever leaked info about an Azerbajan staging area for Israel to use for airstrikes against Iran, had the White House's permission to leak it.

So in other words, Obama is protecting Iran by heading Israel off at the pass. There's a name for those playing both sides of the field in spy games . . .they're called DOUBLE AGENTS.

From the story:

Nevertheless the Israeli-Azerbaijani cooperation allegedly caused so much concern in the White House that unnamed officials were given permission to leak the information on possible airstrikes on Iran from the South-Caucasus country. The intention of the Obama administration was to make the plans public to disrupt any secret agreements between the two governments that would leave the US in the dark.

I just don't understand how, in this so called "age of information", the American people can be so clueless.

Perhaps Netanyahu will fight fire with fire and allow false information to "leak" to the obama regime. I hope he tells obama one thing, allows false information to leak saying something different and then, surprise everyone by doing something completely different from both the public and secret info.

I like that idea Hartdawg. I have had that same thought at times in the past. Obama has shown he cannot be a trusted ally. That is sad to betray a friend. ):

Robin I'm not sure what people are listening too either? I think that first off many have a 180 degree different world view than we do. Next many are listening only to MSM. Others are slaves to thier political party and others are either not paying attention or the othr extreme...they hate our Country like the not so Rev. Wright and his ilk.

Robin, Hart, WV, it reminds me of Isaiah's prophecy when he said: Lord, I'll go! Send me. And He said, "Yes go. But tell my people this: 'Though you hear my words repeatedly, you wont understand them. Though you watch and watch as I perform my miracles, stll you wont know what they mean.'Dull their understanding, close their ears and shut their eyes. I dont want them to see or to hear or to understand, or to turn to me to heal them."Then I said: "Lord, how long will it be before they are ready to listen?" And He replied: Not until their cities are destroyed- without a person left- and the whole country is an utter wasteland, and they are all taken away as slaves to the other countries far away, and all the land of Israel lies deserted! Yet a tenth- a remnant- will survive; and though Israel is invaded again and again and destroted, yet Israel will be like a tree cut down, whose stump still lives to grow again. Isaiah 6:9-13.

About Me

Following Medical School and Internship, I became involved in medical research and have continued in this profession for almost 25 years. During this same period, the study of biblical prophecy became more and more of a focus of study, and it became apparent that the basic principles of research could apply to biblical prophecy.
Because prophetic scriptures are found throughout the bible, it is obvious that a comprehensive, systematic approach would be useful, if not necessary, for the understanding of prophecy.
A literal view of prophecy clearly indicates that one last generation would see the various signs given scripturally, indicating that we are indeed living in the last generation - the generation that would see the remaining prophetic events occur, as described in the Bible.
It is also abundantly clear that we have a mandate from Jesus to watch for these signs; He made it clear that the last generation should be fully aware of their unique place in history.
That is the purpose of this blog - to watch for the signs, and to give hope and encouragement (1 Thessalonians 5:11) to our brothers and sisters as we await the coming of our Lord.
